Set
the increment number In the Start with
field. The increment number becomes the output Business-Document name. The
length of this name is limited to three characters. If you do not enter this number, the output Business-Document name
will be 000.

(Optional)
In the Select the root name to delete
field, enter the alphanumeric string that corresponds to the
prefix to delete in each of the imported fields. You can enter a maximum of ten characters of free text.

AccountingIntegrator Enabler removes the prefix from the names of the fields
and Business-Documents if you set this option in the File
selection window.

Example

The file to import has the following Business-Document/ Field name
combination: 01 (LREC)-LBECAPI041 05 (LREC)-REQUEST

If, in the File Selection window,
you specify (LREC)-
as the prefix to delete, the system generates the Business-Document with
the name LBECAPI041
and which possesses a Field named REQUEST.

Set
the Business-Field creation option

Select
Create and select Business-Fields for
each Leaf Element in the Business-Document to automatically
create Business-Fields, provided they do not exist already.

Step 2- Selecting the Business-Document

After analyzing the copy clause, the importer displays in the File list a Business-Document for each
first level detected in the copy clause structure.

From the Business-Document
File list, use the dual list buttons
to import only those Business-Documents that you require. Highlight file
names and then use Add or Add all to create the list of Business-Documents
to import.

The Business-Documents you select are displayed in
the To import list.

Note: In both
lists you can use the following to view additional information about an
object:

Double-click a
line to view the contents of the object in a tree structure.

Place the cursor
on an element in the tree structure to view the attributes of the object
displayed as a Tooltip.

Click Finish
to generate the selected Business-Documents and proceed to Step
3 to view the generated Business-Documents.

Step 3- Viewing the generated Business-Document

The COBOL Importer inserts the set of Business-Documents and Business-Fields
(if you specified that option) selected in Step
2
into the list of existing Business-Documents and Business-Fields in the
Dictionary tab.

To view the properties of a Business-Document, right click the selected
Business-Document and select . Composer displays the properties of the Business-Document
in a tree structure in the Definition
tab.

Rules for imported
Business-Documents

The names and data types used in the tree structure respect the following
rules:

Element

Rule

Name

Name of Business-Documents

All dashes
(-) are replaced by underscores (_).

Long
names are not shortened to the 25 character limit. The Business-Document
Check process indicates the excess
length.

Name of Leaf Elements

All dashes (-) are replaced by underscores (_).

The name is truncated if it exceeds 10 characters. This also applies to field names modified to handle OCCURS.

If the name is already in use in the Business-Document, the system uses a counter to maintain the 10 character limit: <NAME>_<NN>

If this new name conflicts with an existing field, the system continues to increment the counter and test the uniqueness of the name until no conflict occurs.

Identical name for Business-Document and Leaf Element

A Business-Document you create can have the same name as a Leaf Element.

For example

01 REC-LCECAPI010 PIC X(500

)The generated Business-Document is named REC-LCECAPI010 and possesses a Leaf Element called REC-LCECAPI010 of data type A(500).

Input Business-Documents

For each 1st level of the found structure deleted, the name becomes the name of the Business-Document. If the name already exists, the Business-Document is created, but the Check process on the Business-Document indicates the name duplication.
The prefix in the Business-Document name is deleted if you indicated this option in the File select window.

Input/Output Business-Documents

The name of the Business-Document is the increment number calculated from the number you entered.

Business-Fields

When you select the Business-Fields
option
in the File select window, the COBOL Importer automatically creates a
Business-Field for each Leaf Element.

The COBOL Importer assigns the Business-Field
the same name as the Business-Document field except in OCCURS
cases.
